Chapter 80

Buried thoughts On the black and white tiled floor, Zuo Tian wore white robes, with a white jade-like spirit sword in his right hand. The design was classical and elegant, like a sword used by a nobleman in the Spring and Autumn period. Zuo Tian noticed that Yī Hào had already successfully cultivated, his speed was fast, indicating that Yī Hào did indeed have corresponding sword techniques. Under the fox-faced mask, Zuo Tian's pupils turned cold. The aura of the white-robed youth was like a drawn sword, piercing through the endless clouds and heading straight towards the heavens, surpassing all living beings. This was the first exhilarating battle. Zuo Tian recalled the past few days of humiliation, and a flame ignited in his heart. He wanted to fight a good battle. Luo Qingchuan's aura was restrained and obscure, and the flying mirror around him emitted a buzzing sound as it revolved. The black sword stopped in Luo Qingchuan's hand. The flying mirror, a spirit sword from the righteous Huangjin Tower, at this moment, the sword emitted a deep, dark color, like an exceptional weapon of a demonic god, choosing its prey in the darkness. Silence. On the black and white floor, Zuo Tian swiftly rushed forward, wielding the sword with one hand. Luo Qingchuan soon saw strands of mysterious sword energy made up of white flames flying towards him, as if they were about to tear apart the space of the White Tower and incinerate the air. The white flames were pure and transcendent, like purifying everything in the world, a fierce heavenly fire that purified all sins. Once the fire of Tai Xuan touched something, it would burn into the bones, difficult to extinguish. In the previous assassination, Zuo Tian was indeed careless. He underestimated Luo Qingchuan and casually released the flying sword. As a result, the flying sword was cut off by a mysterious Qi practitioner with an unknown origin, causing Zuo Tian's mind and spirit to be injured, and he could only escape in embarrassment. In a direct confrontation, Zuo Tian's true combat power was much stronger than his realm and talent. He believed that he would win this time. Mu Canglang couldn't help but marvel, "Truly extraordinary, worthy of being an unparalleled inheritance." Jiang Ye fell silent, the sword energy slashed out by the fox-faced youth was magnificent like the flames falling from the sky, but... compared to her Foundation Establishment move, "White Night," it was still lacking in many aspects. Qing Gui's inheritance was also astonishing, and Jiang Ye was always in awe of the One Blade in the Rain Alley. Qing Gui said that he could withstand the "White Night." In Jiang Ye's heart, the outcome of this battle was already determined. It would be more accurate to say that from the very beginning, Jiang Ye knew who would win. Luo Qingchuan gently waved his sword, as if beckoning to a friend. "The Er Jian o Liu Ying." In the void, a large number of pitch-black lightning flashed out, like one after another net, quickly overlapping and extending forward, intercepting and striking down all the white flame sword energies, and then slashing towards Zuo Tian from mid-air. Zuo Tian used the spirit sword to cut through the black lightning that was zig-zagging in all directions, his hand numbing. He sensed the danger in an instant. Yī Hào's sword moves were strange and terrifying. He had to retreat from this dangerous area and plan his next attack. Just as Zuo Tian was about to retreat, Luo Qingchuan moved swiftly towards him. A flaw had appeared. Luo Qingchuan maneuvered through the dark web-like crevices of the abyss, with a black sword emitting a deadly light in his hand, stabbing directly at Zuo Tian's throat. The tip of the sword was like the only star in the endless night sky, shining brightly and coldly. Zuo Tian felt his vision almost being blinded. What kind of sword move was this! It made him feel numb all over, as if he had fallen into an endless ice river, feeling a great disaster looming and waiting for his tragic death! Zuo Tian didn't wait for death. He was about to raise his sword to counterattack, but he felt a faint coldness on his neck. The black sword hovered in front of Zuo Tian's throat, the hilt held in Luo Qingchuan's hand. With a slight movement of his right hand, if the flying mirror advanced another inch, it would claim Zuo Tian's life and draw out the blood. At this moment, the ancestral elder of the Zuo family had condensed invisible spiritual energy around Zuo Tian's throat. If Luo Qingchuan had murderous intent, the ancestor would temporarily control his body and personally engage Yī Hào in combat. Zuo Tian's body stiffened, as if he hadn't woken up from a dream. He murmured, "I lost?" Luo Qingchuan sheathed his sword and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your humility." Zuo Tian looked at Luo Qingchuan, who remained motionless. Defeated again, defeated by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Again. Is it really impossible to surpass the Qi Condensation stage and Foundation Establishment stage? Zuo Tian almost doubted his existence. Foundation Establishment, he must achieve Foundation Establishment. Zuo Tian originally wanted to find a way to not do despicable things, but he failed. It was hard for Zuo Tian to let go of his arrogance and attack someone as ordinary as a Physique Refinement stage cultivator. That's why he invited Yī Hào to fight. But now there was no other choice. Yī Hào was strong, which should have been a good thing, but Yī Hào was too strong, too excessively strong, not giving Zuo Tian any chance to use other techniques, and because of this, he not only didn't experience the satisfaction of a thrilling battle, but was killed by a single sword strike. Zuo Tian felt as if he had strength that he couldn't unleash, feeling frustrated. Mu Canglang swallowed his saliva and looked at Jiang Ye, whispering, "Isn't it a bit too fast? I didn't even see when Yī Hào struck with his sword." Mu Canglang originally wanted to spar with them, to learn from each other among peers, which would deepen their friendship and also help each other grow. From the current situation... Mu Canglang was not qualified to spar with Yī Hào. Yī Hào didn't seem weak. Even though he lost after just two moves, Mu Canglang probably wouldn't be able to even receive a single move. Jiang Ye's expression slightly froze beneath her veil. "It is indeed... very fast, ended very quickly." Previously, Qing Gui showed mercy to her subordinates. Qing Gui saw through her search for the chance to establish Foundation, so he deliberately didn't go all out. But this Yī Hào seemed very confident in being able to defeat Qing Gui with the Qi Condensation stage, even boldly telling Qing Gui not to hold back... Such a result could be considered self-inflicted. Once Qing Gui agreed to the trade, he would do his best to fulfill the other party's requests, very straightforward and sincere. Jiang Ye had a good impression of Qing Gui's style of doing things. She herself was also straightforward. The young girl looked forward to clashing with Qing Gui again. Faced with Qing Gui going all out, Jiang Ye wanted to see where her limits were and how many moves she could withstand. Certainly, she wouldn't lose as quickly as Yī Hào did. Jiang Ye believed. Zuo Tian heard their conversation and knew that someone was betting on him to win. Zuo Tian also thought the same way, thinking that it was great to have someone understand his confidence. He must make friends with "Number 3" when he had the chance. But... How could it be like this? At this moment, Zuo Tian felt as if he had returned to the school gymnasium, back to standing in front of the broken mirror. The four words "not up to par" hammered into Zuo Tian's heart, and his classmates looked at him with immense surprise. Unable to defeat Su Yingxue, unable to defeat the mysterious person in Luo Qingchuan's family, and now even unable to defeat a half-unknown person who suddenly appeared. There was also a girl in the Foundation Establishment stage in the heavens. Do I have no choice but to bully Luo Qingchuan? Zuo Tian was completely disheartened... There were so many powerful people in this world, it would be better to just give up. "Child," the ancestral elder's voice condensed as he said, "this 'Number 1' has terrifying sword techniques, do not underestimate him. You should lose this battle, but once you establish Foundation, you will definitely be able to defeat him." Zuo Tian remained silent for a few seconds, and the footsteps that walked out lost the initial carefree and casualness. No matter how you looked at this young hero, his carefree and casual demeanor seemed somewhat weakened. Zuo Tian abandoned other thoughts and began to wait for that day to come, which was not far away. "Luo Qingchuan, I have already sought a way out for you and paid the price of a spirit sword. I did my best, this should be your fate." Luo Qingchuan had no idea about the chaotic thoughts in Zuo Tian's mind. He put away the flying mirror and stored it in his storage space. With a top-grade spirit sword in his hands, it was very suitable for him. A faint smile appeared at the corner of Luo Qingchuan's mouth. All the equipment was ready, now he just had to wait for the Hidden Realm Exam of the Seeking Dao Class and go kill Zhang Jin with Su Yingxue! He didn't know what Su Yingxue and Chen Yanyu were doing at this moment. Su Yingxue and Chen Yanyu were both kind and gentle girls. Luo Qingchuan didn't want to harm them, but he had to face them. Luo Qingchuan gave up the idea of being a good person, but for now, he still didn't know how to be a bad person. Su Yingxue and Chen Yanyu wouldn't meet today. There would be another chance to manipulate things. Luo Qingchuan buried his thoughts in his heart, even though he was pointing a sword at others, he still touched his own throat with his hand.
